Synopsis

Queueing networks are a long-established aspect of communications systems, which have become particularly important with the growth of digital communications and the increased use of computers in all areas of the communications industry. Although they are so important, the practical applications of mathematical queueing theory to data communications systems and networks are rarely discussed at an introductory level. However, in this book the authors set out to do just this. There is a clear introduction to mathematical queueing theory, concentrating on those aspects which have direct applications in communications systems. Both deterministic and probabilistic approaches are discussed in the context of a variety of applications and networks, such as systems with limited storage capacity, the flow through a network, and Jackson and BCMP networks. Each chapter concludes with a series of examples and exercises, and an annotated bibliography, while an appendix at the end of the book lists formulae which the reader may wish to put to practical use.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Introduction to Queueing Networks Second Edition Erol Gelenbe, Duke University, North Carolina, USA and Guy Pujolle, University of Versailles, France With new concepts emerging in recent literature, this is a timely update to a highly successful and well established first edition. Queueing networks are particularly important as digital communications continue to grow; this text provides a through and comprehensive introduction to the concept of applying mathematical queueing network theory to data communications. New additions:
∗ G–nets, i.e. generalized (or "Gelenbe") queueing networks which allow the analysis of on–line network control functions such as traffic re–routing,
∗ discrete time queueing networks with application to ATM networks
As leading authorities in this area, the authors′ focus on the practical approach where aspects of queueing theory are applied directly to communications systems and networks. Included is a series of exercises and examples at the end of each chapter as well as a fully annotated bibliography. This book is of particular interest to communications and computer engineers and is essential reading for network. managers and administrators. It will also benefit students and researchers in the area of networks, as well as Web server administrators and personal computer users. Visit Our Web Page! http://www.wiley.com/
